  • All EVs make some kind of ufo noise at low speeds as it's required by law. So I guess it makes sense to choose a "cool" sound.

  • I don't think LLMs usually make this kind of mistake. Maybe it's not written by a native speaker. Also it's a doge meme, it could be just slightly bad grammar on purpose.

  • Not much that I can think of. I used it until a few years ago, and the experience was pretty good.

  • It seems that Canonical likes to spend a lot of resources on building projects on their own and put them into Ubuntu, only to discontinue them for another solution after some amount of years.

    They're currently pushing hard for their snap packages. It isn't a bad concept per se but their Snap Store server is closed source, with no alternatives repositories so far. There are also other options, like Flatpak, which is more widespread, and fully open.

  • My advice is to just look at the screenshots of a few mainstream ones and pick one that looks the most usable.

    A few:

    • Mint - Can't go wrong if you like traditional desktop.
    • Pop OS - Great for gaming (and many other things).
    • Zorin - Never used it, but it's supposedly easy, and very polished.
    • Ubuntu - Has many haters (including myself), because of nuances, but honestly it'll do the job just fine.
  • I don't know why, but I first just thought this as finding some old note the person had written whilst alive.

  • lamp

    Jump
  • I hear they gather the energy during the caterpillar stage.

  • That is entirely incorrect. Microsoft doesn't own the company and never did. MS bought the phone division and a license for the name to go with it.

    I tried to look up what this notice is actually about, but there's nothing out there yet. So can't say much being a patent troll "arm" either.

  • There are two interpretations.

    It's either do the intended job, but nothing extra, which I think is just normal work, or don't even try to do the job properly, do as little as possible while staying unnoticed to avoid getting fired.

    The name implies the latter, but that's not how all people use it.

  • I would assume that these people are there mainly because they know what to do if something goes wrong, instead of sitting there for easily automatable tasks.

  • The meme artist here is not thinking in enough dimensions. These constraints result in a tetrahedron. So you just need to stand in a triangle formation and have the last guy go in the center and float less than the average human height above ground.

  • That explains the holes.

  • Bandcamp, Corsair, Rust, Discord, Jontron, K12, LiveLeak, Bionicle, Mann Co. Well Mann Co probably does.

  • Depends on how easy it is to jailbreak.

  • I doubt GDPR can reach this in any way as it's foreigners' data collected and stored in a foreign country.

    I'm not sure if it's directly EU-level, but unauthorized identity registries collected without consent are very illegal here; a certain religious organisation already got into trouble for keeping track of households that might want to talk about jesus. If this app is legal in US, the law really needs to be changed.

  • It does suck, but I think the only thing Tim Epic can do is to fix his own store.

  • I had an iphone. I'm not going back there because of how restrictive the platform is, but for the basic things it could do, the experience was generally just a lot nicer and more polished.
